Dollar Gift Saga: Pastor Comes to Sammy Gyamfi’s Defence, Claims Agradaa Hypnotised Him

• Popular Ghanaian pastor, Bishop JY Adu, has reacted to Sammy Gyamfi's dollar gift to Evangelist Mama Pat
• In a video, the preacher claimed Sammy Gyamfi should not be blamed for his actions since he was hypnotised by Agradaa during the encounter
• Netizens who saw the video expressed mixed reactions in the comments section of the now-viral post

A Ghanaian pastor, Bishop J Y Adu, has jumped to the defence of the CEO of GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi, claiming he was "hypnotised" by controversial evangelist Nana Agradaa in the now-viral dollar gift saga.

The incident, which has ignited heated debate on social media and mainstream platforms, shows Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat, receiving dollar notes from Sammy Gyamfi during a public event.

After exchanging pleasantries and taking photos, Agradaa walked the CEO of the GoldBod to his vehicle and asked him for fuel money.

In response, Sammy Gyamfi pulled out some dollar notes to count a portion and handed them to Agradaa. To his bewilderment, Agradaa pulled all the notes out of his hands and walked out of the scene.

The video has raised eyebrows, with critics questioning the appropriateness of the gesture and suggesting potential political implications.

But in a surprising twist, the renowned pastor has come out to suggest that Gyamfi may not have been fully in control of his actions during the encounter.

The pastor argued that the controversial evangelist, who has a history of spiritual practices and legal controversies, might have used “spiritual manipulation” during the public interaction.

He claimed Agradaa, whom he called his "daughter", has charming eyes which automatically hypnotise people she encounters.

"The spirit of the Lord rests upon Agradaa, and she has charming eyes. She has the spirit of charm. And it's not only Sammy Gyamfi, but anyone who meets her gives her money. It's a spiritual feature," he said.

"Can you imagine this…!! Smh may our gods of his land forgive us for being fooled by those white guys that invaded our land to tell us about the white God. Just think deeply and you will see how stupid this sounds. The same ship that brought the Bible, guns, and took our people away."

"Will give the revered Bishop the benefit of the doubt. But if $ammy Gyamfi has cropped a cocoa farm for a year, harvested it and carried it on his head from his farm in Donkokorum in Afram Plains, would he still have been “charmed”? Your guess is as good as mine."

"Matters of spirituality are different cases. I’m the canal sense, Sammy Gyamfi did it out of love and strategically to let Agradaa know they are not enemies, but rather citizens with a supportive and caring attitude."

Agradaa makes threat over dollars saga

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Sammy Gyamfi's dollar gift to Evangelist Mama Pat, aka Agradaa, put his job as the acting CEO of the Precious Mineral and Marketing Company at risk.

The controversial televangelist has vowed to sell her church and donate half of the proceeds to her benefactor should Sammy Gyamfi lose his job.

This comes after calls for President John Dramani Mahama to suspend Sammy Gyamfi for his regrettable actions.
